On local networks (everything attached to a single switch) with good hardware, it is reliable, and soft/intr is the worse choice among others.
To wit NFS is one of the commonly supported VM storage options (libvirt, VMware, etc).
- yetanotherme 7y agoBest of the bad options doesn't make it a good option. It's far from reliable and one of the most common reasons I encounter for deadlocked Linux systems. Well, to be fair, it also hangs a fair share of BSDs and sometimes even a Solaris. If at all possible, I'd suggest avoiding it.
